IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-TIE SUPPORTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,538, dated March 4, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL PELTZ, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck-Tie Supporters and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip tion thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference bein g had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which drawing- Figure 1 represents an inside View of my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same in the plane at a", Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an in side view of a modification thereof.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in the arrangement of a wire frame, which is provided at its ends with loops to engage with the wings of a necktie shield, while the central portion of said wire frame forms a hook or other retaining de vice capable of being attached to the shirtband or collar-button in such a manner that a firm and durable connection is effected between the retainingdevice and the shield; and, furthermore, by the wire frame, the shield is strengthened and enabled to retain its shape for a long time.

In the drawing, the letter A designates a frame made of wire, and provided at its ends with loops or a, which are passed over the wings of a neck-tie shield, B, and fastened to the same by bending the ends of the loops down over the edges of the wings.

. loose.

In the middle of the wire frameAis formed a hook, I), or any other suitable retaining device Which is capable of catching over the shirt-band, or over the collar-button, for the purpose of holding the neck-tie in position.

My wire frame A can be produced very cheap, and it serves to effect a firm and durable connection between the hook I) or other retaining device, so that said retaining device is not liable to work loose, and that it will outlast the shield and the other portions of the neck-tie; and, furthermore, by the wire frame A, the shield is strengthened and enabled to retain its shape for a long time.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isr The wire frame A, provided with loops at a, and with a hook or other retaining device, b, in combination with a neck-tie shield, B, the

wings of which are secured in the loops of the frame A, substantially in the manner herein shown and described.
